An empty, sterile room. At the entrance, fifty masks suspend individual identity, giving rise to a temporary community of nameless faces. At the centre, an isolated chair – a mute symbol of violence and power – commands attention: an object steeped in a long history drawing on both art and death. The theatrical illusion shatters, and with it, the comforting divide between stage and audience. Presented at the Triennale Milano, Credere alle Maschere [Believing the Masks] reflects the radical vision of Romeo Castellucci, a pivotal figure in contemporary European theatre. It is an experience that offers no sanctuary, compelling participants to confront the accountability of their own gaze. No answers are provided, for nothing but persistent questions linger, challenging the viewer.
